CRIME STATISTICS

The University of Tennessee Police Department utilizes Comparative Statistics (Compstat) to continually monitor and analyze crime trends in the University Community.  Compstat allows us to forecast future crime patterns based on previous occurrences and develop strategies for targeting specific trends.  This process also allows us to allocate department staff or reallocate staff as concerns are addressed.  Community members are invited to attend public compstat meetings to allow active participation in community safety. For more information on Compstat meeting schedules, contact 865.974.6631.

To comply with state and federal laws, the UT Police Department collects and maintains statistics concerning crime on campus and in surrounding areas. UTPD sends monthly reports on on-campus crime to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation via the Tennessee-Incident Based Reporting System (TIBRS). These statistics are then reported by TBI to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.  To comply with the Jeanne Clery Act, the UTPD also sends reports regarding crime on and around campus to the United States Department of Education.

Security Handbooks are produced in October of each year by the University. Handbook always contain statistics for the past three years not including year of production. For example, the 2009 Security Handbook will contain statistics for 2007 - 2008. For more current statistics, please visit, TBI Crime Statistics.
